Xia Ju also remembered who this girl was, and took her hand and cried, "Si'er, you are Si'er, where have you been, why did you come to me now?" Then he asked, "Why do you speak in such a voice?" ”

Qiu Jihong said with a smile, "Si'er don't cry, and my son will say goodbye to Brother Shu later." ”

Si'er put away her tears and got up, and wiped Xia Ju's tears again.

Qiu Jihong looked Xia Li up and down a few more times, and said, "Lili looks very much like your mother." Good boy, our Qiu family is sorry for you, sorry for your mother. His voice was a little choked.

Qiu Jihong is shorter and thinner than Qiu Jili, white and elegant, and approachable. It is said that Mrs. Qiu blamed herself for not educating Qiu Ze well, and her two grandsons did not dare to hand it over to Qiu Ze and the Qi family for discipline. Qiu Jili was sent to the Yang family when he was seven years old, and Qiu Jihong was sent to a family in northern Hebei when he was five years old, where he studied and lived until he was fifteen years old before returning to Beijing.

Xia Li had a good impression of him, curtsy him, and said with a smile, "Second uncle." ”

Qiu Jihong smiled even more happily, "Eh, eh, good boy." Your grandmother was so happy that she couldn't sleep knowing that you were still alive. We all know that you are the daughter-in-law of your sister-in-law, and you can't be wrong. It's just that you won't really recognize you until the person sent by Master Su to Xiangshan Mansion to find your adoptive mother comes back. ”

Xia Li smiled, "I know. ”

Qiu Jihong pulled Xia Ju in front of him again and said, "Brother Shu has grown so tall. Don't worry, when you go home to live with your grandmother and second uncle in the future, those two women will never hurt you again. ”

Xia Ju didn't see Qiu Jihong much when he was at home, and he had completely forgotten about it. Xia Li asked him to call him Second Uncle, and he was very polite and shouted, "Second Uncle." ”

Several people laughed for a while, and Xia Li saw that Qiu Jihong had something to say to her, so he asked the girl to lead Xia Ju and Si'er to the West Cross Courtyard to talk. Ye Siye was clever and made an excuse to leave.

Qiu Jihong told Xia Li about the situation of the Qiu family.

Qiu Jihong had been in charge of general affairs before, and Qiu Ze was incompetent, so most of the Qiu family's outer courtyard was controlled by him. Moreover, the interior of the second room is also relatively clear, and it is not mixed with the big room. When Qiu Zhongshu and his aunt had an accident, he happened to be away from home when he went out to run errands, otherwise he would better protect Xiaoshu'er.

Before, the big and small Qi clan and Qiu Ze were making trouble, and there was also a connivance factor in it. With the lifting of the ban on the eldest prince, Qiu Jili's wings have become harder, and the family will no longer continue to indulge them. The head of the house, as well as the stewards of some important positions, will be changed.

Now that the two rooms are separated, the old lady has also come out of the Buddhist hall, and in the future, Brother Shu'er and the old lady will live in the same courtyard without any problems. Xia Li occasionally went back to his parents' house, and he also went to the old lady. Moreover, the old Qi family has lost such a big face, and he doesn't dare to look for trouble for the time being. Xiao Qi was grounded by the queen for three months, and was taught a lesson by Qiu Jili, she will also be restrained......

Xia Li also knew that Qiu Jili also had a concubine Ma in Hecheng, as well as a son and a daughter born to Ma, whose daughter was Qiu Yu, who was ten years old this year. The son's name is Qiu Zhongxu, and he is just four years old this year.

Qiu Jihong also explained, "The eldest brother and the first sister-in-law Qin Se sang together, and they were very affectionate. The eldest brother learned that his sister-in-law had passed away, and he was in pain. The reason why he remarried Xiao Qi was that there was no way, in order to plot something big, to paralyze Qi and that woman. He was not in Beijing, and the Qi family found an excuse to send two women over, and the eldest brother had to accept them, but later they all died of illness, and he did not leave a son and a half daughter. Grandmother was afraid that the Qi family would stuff women again, so she picked two trustworthy girls and sent them over. A surname Huo, who is the biological mother of Brother Shu'er, is dead. A surnamed Ma gave birth to Yu Yatou and Xu'er, and the three of them are still ...... in Hecheng."

Xia Li knew that ancient men didn't care about three wives and four concubines, and it was reasonable for these two women to follow Qiu Jili. She still couldn't understand Qiu Jili's approach to Xiao Qi's family, and it was not worth it for Yang An'an.

Several people spoke for a while before Qiu Jihong got up and said goodbye.

Xia Li had already agreed that Xia Ju would go back to Qiu's house to live in the future, and it was best to wait until his identity was confirmed before going back, and Qiu Jihong also agreed.

Xia Ju was reluctant to let Si'er go, he couldn't remember all the past, but he just felt that Si'er was close.

Xia Li is also grateful for Si'er's loyalty, and he has suffered so much to protect Xia Ju. rewarded her with one hundred taels of silver, and temporarily let her accompany Xia Ju to live in the West Cross Courtyard. When Xia Ju wants to return to Qiu's house, let her go to Qiu Jihong's secret Zhuangzi to live. Before the two Qi clans fall, it is best not to let her go back to the Qiu family. Xiao Qi hates her more than Xia Ju, and will definitely find a way to fix her. Her mother and son are all confidants of Xiao Qi's family, and because of this incident, Xiao Qi's family was removed from her original position. When she goes back, she doesn't need Xiao Qi's family to clean her up, and Niang Laozi will think of beating her to death.

Xia Ju listened to Xia Li's story about Si'er's experience, and was very grateful to Si'er and rewarded her with one hundred taels of silver. also promised that he would find her a wishful husband in the future and support her for the rest of her life.

When Si'er was away, Xia Ju quietly begged Mama Zhao and said, "Mama, you know a lot of people in the capital, and you know a lot of people, and Brother Ye Quan knows a lot of people, so I will ask you to help Si'er find Ruyi Langjun." Help me find a better offspring. I will remember your love. ”

After speaking, he also rewarded Mama Zhao with a jade pendant.

The immature little face and the expression of a mature coach are very joyful.

Xia Li couldn't help but smile and glanced at Mama Zhao, and also said, "Si'er is loyal, although her appearance and voice are ruined, but with Ju'er's care in the future, life will definitely be better." Just look for the kind of honest and honest offspring who doesn't dislike her. ”

Mama Zhao smiled, "Thank you, brother, for believing in the old slave, the old slave opened his eyes wide and helped Si'er choose a good husband." ”

At the end of March 19, Xia Li and Qiu Jili were both invited to the Jingzhao Mansion.

Jingzhao Mansion investigated Xia Xing and his grandmother, and they said everything they knew, plus the jade plate, Xia Li's paper, and Qiu Jili and Xia Li's appearances, Su Hu preliminarily confirmed that they were their biological father and daughter. But it is still necessary to wait until the official who went to Xiangshan Mansion to verify the situation with Xia Li's adoptive mother Xia Ju comes back before it can finally be settled.

The road to Xiangshan Mansion is far away, and if it goes well, it will take more than a month to go back and forth. Qiu Jili's position is important, and it is impossible to stay in the capital all the time. After seeing that Qiu Jili was going back to Hecheng in a few days, he wanted to meet Xia Li and confirm it himself.

After the two arrived, they looked at each other and were very "excited".

Qiu Jili said to Su Hu, "I don't need Lord Su's confirmation, I dare to believe that this child is my Qiu Jili's species, she looks too much like her mother, and she is also like me." I'll recognize her first, and she will wait until Lord Su confirms it. ”

Xia Li listened, knelt down and kowtowed to him.

Qiu Jili helped her up and watched her burst into tears. It's not pretending, it's that he's really excited.
